It is true: that a certain amount of interest exists in Second: Division where both Kowloon Bowling Green Club and Kowloon Football Club are striving hard the. first-named to win the championship of the Divi- sion outright, and the Chatham Road team to force a triple play-off for the honour.

The Services are also well represented by the Air Force, the Sappers, the Royal Scots, and the 8th Battery, R.A. The other new Race No. 6- teams registered are South China A.A., St. Joseph's, Cosmopolitan Club, Indian Softball Club, and the Cyclone Club.

The Footballers have also to play away, Club de Recreio being their hosts, and although I think they will gather the points, the going may be hard.
